Chapter 20 re-enters Jixian Fang
"Zhang, take it."
"Or I'll let the guy send it to the house..."
"No, that's just a lot."
Zhang Biao picked up a stack of medicine bags and sighed in his heart.
What he bought was also a treasure that could be circulated in the market, three hundred taels of silver, which could be carried away with one hand.
In addition to the twenty taels of silver left for emergencies, the savings of the Zhang family for several generations disappeared in one day...
……
Out of Renxin Hall, Zhang Biao suddenly noticed something unusual.
Now when I first arrived, some people had not yet eaten, but the various medicine halls were already crowded.
There are very few ordinary people, most of them are in green clothes and small hats, and at first glance they are the officials in the house, and their faces are anxious.
And in the distance, there are many more people pouring in.
Looking at all this, Zhang Biao's face was solemn.
The dragons and snakes in Yujing City are mixed, each with its own way.
The heavens and the earth have changed, and the heavy rain has not arrived, but the well-informed officials have seen the dark clouds and have begun to act.
They may not know about the revival of the aura, let alone use it for cultivation, but just want to hoard medicinal herbs, or use them for their own use, or make a profit from them.
And ordinary people are unaware of it, and they are still troubled by firewood, rice, oil and salt.
Damn, food is estimated to go up too...
Zhang Biao's face changed, and he hurriedly returned to Anzhenfang, carefully hid the medicinal materials, and then left home again.
Out of the fangmen, I wanted to go to the grain store, but after thinking about it, I turned around and went to Jixian Fang.
He works as an errand in the six gates, and there are many masters, no matter how difficult the court is, he will take care of them.
And the medicinal herbs are getting more and more fierce.
While there are still goods on the market, it is best to get some silver hoarding as soon as possible, or you can only turn into a thief and rob the treasury of those high-ranking officials and nobles.
It's not that I'm afraid of losing face.
It's just that those deep mansion compounds in Yujing City are guarded by masters, and it is really unwise for him to rashly take risks with the ability of an enemy.
With a plan in his heart, Zhang Biao suddenly quickened his pace, and in less than half a pillar of incense, he arrived at Jixian Fang.
Compared with Anrenfang, Jixianfang is obviously much less crowded, and the shopkeepers of some shops even eat breakfast leisurely in street restaurants.
There are not many stalls on the street.
Zhang Biao turned around a few times, maybe the news of the accident of the tomb robbers in Yongjifang spread, and there was not a single mouse on the street.
After looking at a few stalls, they were all fake, even if he didn't understand antiques, he knew that the Great Seal of the emperor of the previous dynasty would not be placed on the street like cabbage.
I can only go to the shop and take a look...
"This brother, please stay."
Just as he raised his feet, a low voice suddenly came from behind him.
Zhang Biao looked back and saw that he was a young man with delicate facial features, wearing a green cloth robe, and the pulp was washed white, although it looked shabby, but it had a bit of elegant temperament.
"What?"
Zhang Biao frowned, ready to drive away.
It's not a good thing to have someone talking to someone in the downtown area.
Sure enough, the young man looked around sneakily, and then covered his chest and whispered: "My brother Guan Taiqi Yu Xuanang, is a person who practices martial arts, and I can't hide it, I am a relative of General Fengwu, and I have obtained the secret of his family's knife technique, and I want to sell it to someone who knows the goods..."
General Fengwu is the general of the right military guard, who was sentenced to death for secretly possessing a large number of ordnance, and a few days ago, Zhang Biao watched him be beheaded.
After hearing about the accident, the female relatives of the family were used as the secretary of the school, and the relatives who were messy and couldn't hit with ten poles came to the door to rob a lot of property.
However, Zhang Biao didn't believe it at all, and sneered: "Disciple of the Book Sect? If you don't learn well, you're not allowed to do it..."
As he spoke, he took out the six door tokens from his bosom.
It is the most common means to sell all kinds of fake calligraphy and paintings, fake antiques to deceive people, and to disguise celebrities.
Whenever a high-ranking official in the capital is beheaded, there will always be a bunch of various descendants to sell their ancestral property.
'Put a little' is a black word in the rivers and lakes, which means to check the fat sheep.
As soon as the sign of the six doors lit up, the young man's face suddenly turned green, and he said in a trembling voice: "There are no beads in the eyes, please forgive your sins." ”
With that, turn around and leave.
"What's the hurry?"
Zhang Biao smiled, grabbed his collar and pulled it back, "I have something to ask you." ”
The young man was about to cry, and he made a fuss again and again, "My lord, I fell in the middle of the next road, and I had to mix in the rivers and lakes, and I just got out of the mountain, and I didn't make a single deal..."
Zhang Biao's eyes widened, "Don't howl, what's your name?" ”
The young man's face turned pale, and he arched his hand and said, "In the next Yu Ziqing, I didn't do anything, I was wronged..."
Seeing this, Zhang Biao smiled and said: "Don't be afraid, I just want to buy some antiques to give away, and I don't have any money, you can do a favor and see which stall has real goods." ”
Yu Ziqing was stunned when he heard this, and then his face was full of embarrassment: "Don't dare to hide it, you don't look at where this Jixian Fang is, those Confucian scholars who are proficient in this way, the shopkeepers of each hall, and the same way, all have vicious eyes, and good things can't flow out at all..."
"Huh?"
Zhang Biao was dumbfounded when he heard this.
Seeing his appearance, Yu Ziqing rolled his eyes and said in a low voice: "Who do you want to give it to, there is a real thing below, although it is a little indecent, but if it is given to the right appetite, it is more pleasing than antiques." ”
Zhang Biao's eyes lit up, "Take it out and take a look." ”
"Please come with me, sir."
Yu Ziqing's face was full of mystery and led the way ahead.
The two turned left and right, and entered the depths of Jixian Fang.
It is far less lively than the streets, and unlike Anzhenfang, because of the prosperity of commerce and trade, there are many people, and even the houses are small and cramped, and the households are connected.
Seeing that he was getting further and further away, and there was almost no one in the alley, Zhang Biao's eyes narrowed slightly, and he raised his vigilance.
The rivers and lakes are sinister, could it be that this kid has long hair on his guts and is ambitious...
At this moment, Yu Ziqing stopped in front of a dilapidated house, "My lord, this is it." ”
After that, Dong Dong knocked on the door, "Mother, I'm back." ”
The wooden door creaked open, but it was an old woman with silver hair, her eyes were white, and she said in a trembling voice: "Son, how can there be outsiders, you won't cause anything, right?" ”
Yu Ziqing hurriedly helped the old woman, "Mother, it's okay, bring a guest, you can rest." ”
After that, he helped the old woman into the wooden chair in the courtyard and sat down, and then turned his head and said, "Let the adults laugh, the things are inside." ”
Zhang Biao nodded, there was no doubt in his heart, and followed Yu Ziqing into the wing.
After entering the door, I saw that although the room was simple, it was neatly arranged, with pen, ink, paper, and inkstones, as well as many hand-copied books and forged famous paintings that had not dried in ink.
It seems that this kid has some background...
Zhang Biao looked at it and immediately understood.
The rivers and lakes are mixed, most of them are mud legs who can't survive, not to mention this good hand of calligraphy and painting, and there are few people who can read and hyphenation.
But he didn't ask much.
The officialdom of Yujing City has had ups and downs for three hundred years, and most of them are all kinds of broken settlements.
I saw Yu Ziqing take out an object a few feet square from under the bed, the homespun cloth was tightly wrapped, and he opened it carefully, "My lord, this is it." ”
After Zhang Biao saw it, his brows furrowed slightly, "It looks average, what's the reason?" ”
This is a small wooden screen, the material can not be seen, it is carved with flower rockeries, and there are small windows.
"Don't worry, sir."
Yu Ziqing blinked proudly, and then opened the small wooden windows one by one, and they were all trapdoors.
When Zhang Biao saw it, his face suddenly turned ugly.
I saw that in the wooden window, a pair of men and women untied their wide clothes, posing with various patterns, lifelike, and the eyebrows were full of spring love.
At this time, the wooden screen is like peeking at a family of husbands and wives through the garden.
Well, it turned out to be a spring palace map.
Seeing Zhang Biao's face, Yu Ziqing hurriedly explained: "My lord, this thing is also an antiquity of the previous dynasty, my father carefully collected it, and it is in good condition. ”
"Ten taels... No, you can take five taels of silver, and you will definitely not lose anything! ”
Zhang Biao would listen to his nonsense, he turned his head and wanted to leave, but seeing that this thing was exquisitely made, it was a waste of half a day, and he always had to figure it out, so he turned his eye of vision.
Wooden screen spring palace (fan)
1. Pear blossom wood material, carefully carved by craftsmen, after 300 years, the owners of the past generations have cared for it.
2. Draw willow eyebrows, point red lips, frost and red dust, and the world is sad in a hurry, it is better to indulge in boudoir music...
3. The world cherishes its skills and cherishes them in every way, but they don't know that the clever craftsman hides things in it...
I really found a treasure!
Zhang Biao was surprised in his heart, but his face was expressionless, hesitated for a moment, and nodded: "Okay, this thing is also exquisite, and it is not bad to buy it and give it away." ”
Yu Ziqing was immediately overjoyed, "My lord has good eyesight, this transaction is definitely not a loss!" ”
Zhang Biao didn't talk nonsense, handed over the money with one hand, delivered the goods with the other, and left in a hurry after taking the things.
Yu Ziqing opened his mouth, he was about to speak, but he didn't know how to speak, so he could only watch Zhang Biao's figure disappear quickly...
"Son, have you sold anything?"
At this moment, the voice of the old woman in the courtyard sounded.
Yu Ziqing hurriedly returned and said with a smile: "Mother, it's finally opened, I'll go buy rice and make meat for you to eat at night." ”
The old woman sighed, "It's okay to eat or not for your mother, but I feel uncomfortable, our family is in the middle of the road, and you will be in the market, and you won't be able to get famous..."
"Mother, what are you talking about?"
Yu Ziqing smiled, "The court is dangerous, my father offends people all day long as a speaker, let's be worried, how can we be idle now." ”
Tweeted!
At that moment, the sound of birds suddenly sounded outside.
Yu Ziqing's eyes changed slightly, and he smiled: "Mother, I'm going to buy rice, you stay at home, don't open the door except me." ”
With that, hurry out the door.
Turning the corner, there was a thin man dressed in white, looking at the sky boredly.
Yu Ziqing hurriedly gave up his hand, "I've seen Senior Brother Yang, but what's the matter?" ”
The thin man smiled: "It's okay, find someone, pay attention to it these days." ”
"Who?"
"A dead man named Xiao San..."
"The private work of a senior in the door, I don't want to leak the news, so I look for some fresh faces in various squares."
"Remember, don't say anything to anyone, tell me directly if you find someone, you will have a backer in the door in the future."
"Thank you, Senior Brother Yang!"
Yu Ziqing was overjoyed when he heard this.
The rivers and lakes are mixed, how can it be so simple, he has shallow experience, and he doesn't know martial arts, and he is often beaten with a blue nose and swollen face, but fortunately, his mother is blind and has not been discovered.
Trading with Zhang Biao is also based on his kindness, wanting to get in touch with him and finding a backer, but who knows that the other party will run away after taking something.
Xiao San, the name is a little familiar...
…………
When he returned home, Zhang Biao immediately closed the door.
He drew his horizontal knife, placed the wooden screen on the table, and carefully cut off the sides.
I don't know what treasure the craftsman hid, and I don't know what kind of technique he used, but it was always right to cut it next to the side.
Sure enough, after cutting off two inches, an obvious crack appeared on the wood grain, and I don't know what secret method was used, so it was impossible to detect it from the outside.
A hint of surprise appeared in Zhang Biao's eyes, and he shaved off all the edges along the wooden cracks, and the screen suddenly became two layers.
Lifting the first layer, a yellowed drawing appears in front of you, densely painted with patterns.
"Yujing City Yutu?"
Zhang Biao was stunned and a little disappointed.
What the hell is this?
Although there is an order from the imperial court to complicity in the crime of secretly concealing public opinion, there are also rumors in the rivers and lakes that they can secretly sell a hundred taels of silver.
The problem is that there are six doors, and he can't afford to risk it for a hundred taels of silver.
"Huh..."
At this moment, Zhang Biao discovered something strange.
This map of Yujing City seems to be a little different from what he has seen......
